Swiss Gold Bars

Switzerland is known as one of the world's preeminent financial hubs — it's no surprise that the country manufactures highly regarded gold bullion products. Mint State Gold sells gold bars by Credit Suisse and PAMP (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux), two of the world's most reputable precious metal producers. The most popular gold bars feature 1 oz. of 99.99% pure 24-karat gold. Pricing corresponds to the market valuation, which changes according to demand and other global factors.

History of Gold

Gold has always been one of the most valued and highly sought-after materials on earth. It played a major factor in human history and colonization, and even today retains an almost universal allure. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, gold is also highly functional, and is a required component of a wide range of manufacturing and industrial processes.

Until the 20th century, most national economies backed their paper currency with a gold standard. Gold served as a hedge against inflation — so much so that during the Depression of the 1930s, gold hoarding was so rampant that it was thought to be impeding the country's financial recovery. This led to a ban on privately held gold in the US that lasted from 1933 to 1976.

Why Buy Gold Bars?

Today, anyone can buy gold bars or coins for investment purposes. In fact, many consider it to be part of a well-balanced portfolio. However, there are many ways to buy precious metals. Some investors prefer pre-1933 collector's coins, which offer privacy benefits not available with pure bullion. However, if that's not a concern, Swiss gold bars offer excellent liquidity and performance that is tied directly to the spot price of gold.

If you're considering buying gold for an investment a Mint State Gold representative can offer you several options based on your budget and your goals.
